köken: Perhaps from שָׁעָהכְּ עַד (ád ksha'á) or הוּאכְּשֶׁ עַד (ád kshehú). Attested since Late Antiquity. The spelling with י may have arisen to disambiguate the vowel before ו so as not to be read as וֹ – as in analogous words like סתיו /סְתָו (stáv) and the possessive ending ־ָיו (-áv).
just, only, merely, simply · recently, just now · presently
köken: From modus (“measure, mode, manner, way”); the adverb derives from its ablative form. The short vowel in the adverb is an example of iambic shortening that became conventional in Classical Latin (as in ego).
